Great place to grab your morning coffee and muffins. I ordered a fruit smoothie and it was refreshing and delicious. It's dog friendly and they have a lot of outdoor and indoor sitting. Recommended!

Delicious coffee and smoothies! Definitely worth the effort to find it (my GPS took me on a trip to what was apparently the back?)

Great drinks, friendly staff, and solid prices. One of the few coffee shops that also feels inviting to sit and hang. $1.5 day old pastries, all my meals are now cinnamon buns.

Update after the response- so typical of your response to anyone who calls out your rudeness! No apologies , only trying to prove customer wrong. I don’t even know how what did you charge me for, as my order was not taken correctly and i had to pay additional amount for smoothie! No receipts were given! I was so surprised to see your behavior, that i just left place without counting your refund or question as you obviously had no time other than stating - YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE REFUNDING FOR REPLACEMENT- which I didn’t even ask for but made it look embarrassing in front of the queue of customers not knowing the situation! Utterly rude and unorganized staff! You can’t get paper wrap out from muffin and they will offer you money back like favor and utter rudeness you can imagine ! Had good feeling about NC until i interacted with the lady here who works or owns this place! Don’t go to ruin your morning. Nothings worth your self respect.

This place is so cute! I went to the old location before… this was the first time at the new location.. it needs a little clean up on the outside but the inside is a hidden gem. Very nice staff! Great place if you wanna get west coast vibes on the east coast!

Please, please use your GPS to find them ... as silly as it sounds when there is only one main road. They are right beside the Red and White. If you were familiar with their old location you might be alarmed when you see it is bare. At their new location, they are just as good as always! Friendly, helpful, and good drinks! They are very fairly priced as well. See the picture below of the outside of their new location so you don't miss it.

This year we even enjoyed new location better than previous one. This location in older house, so charming & authentic to Hatteras. Clean, small tables,chairs to enjoy delicious coffees, teas, fruit smoothies w/ freshly baked pastries. A lovely room of local small art gifts to browse. Charming, efficient staff w owner. Located under gorgeous old trees (oaks?), right next door to Blue Pelican on one side & red, white grocery on other side. Delightful stop!

Google maps tells you this coffee shop is behind the red and white grocery but it is actually right next door. The lattes and mochas are one size. They had a lot of varieties. I had a latte with sugar free Irish cream and almond milk. It was pretty good. My kids had the frozen hot chocolate. It was the same size as the latte with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and sprinkles. They loved them and the taste I had was delicious! We brought back a sticky bun for my husband but the kids convinced him to let them eat it and they said it was very good. I would recommend bringing your own reusable straw if you have trouble with paper straws. They have paper straws which dissolved fairly quickly for one of my kids even though I thought they weren’t the flimsiest ones I have seen.

Hatteras Sunrise smoothie was delicious. Also got the best dirty chai latte I have ever had. Great atmosphere and top quality spinach feta croissant!

Review 2020: Quick service, great mannered employees, outdoor dining area, all employees wore masks (covid), pet friendly, wide array of food and drinks, french roast purchases to aid working coffee farming families. A great experience and highly recommended. Review 2021: Same thoughts as before! Now with some indoor seating available. It seems as though the toasted coconut is a favorite by many. I was able to get my iced coffee and fresh ,still warm, scone for less than 5 dollars.

Great coffee, cool theme, but tbh rather annoying everytime I've tried to visit... They are usually closed due to some covid garbage or something.
